You'd have to consult a music attorney for the details, but from how I understand it, the music is for sale for private use, and not for use to represent a person or group of people. The RNC was a convention, which = a group of people, and that music, because it played there, identified itself with them, which it was never intended to do. I would think this is more pronounced if the artists are Democrats, but the music is played at a Republican convention.
Whose campaign was it that had Fleetwood Mac ("Don't Stop") playing in the b.g.? Clinton's? I'm sure, though both agree on party principles, that Clinton (or whomever) paid for Fleetwood Mac's music.
